I am still waiting on more responses. But it sounds like the few people who have emailed me prefer to wait and see who it is and give it to that team. The other option is to random it between all 31 spots. I am perfectly fine with either.

What I have read, it does not say what player ur getting when u enter the code. So we're not going to find out what player it is until some of the other similar redemption start getting shipped. Then we have to figure out which player goes to which letter. By the time Topps starts shipping the mystery redemptions its going to be a couple of months. I hope that makes sense.

That makes sense. I was figuring there woukd be some release sonner than that. Either way, I am fine with the random idea. We could do it live as we do with the breaks. If I don't get much opposition then I am fine with the random idea.

My preference would be to wait and give it to the team that it should go to. I say this only b/c these things can be pretty valuable (Koufax, Ryan, etc.). That being said, the waiting period could be an issue. I have not heard who the subjects are yet. Not sure if a call to Topps would help.

The response I got was, "that's why it's a mystery we can't say who it is."

I think I will submit the card and record the submission live. Post that on ustream and you tube. If they say who it is at that time then we will know. Otherwise when the package arrives I will open that live on Ustream and then it will go to the appropriate team. Seems to be what most want and seems to be the most fair as well. If you paid a spot then you should get all your hits.

If for any reason the mystery signer is not a mlb player and can not be assigned to a team then it will be randomed off.

If it is indeed your Koufax, you can buy me a beer at the National Collectors show in Baltimore next year. Heck, if its a Koufax you can but a beer for me, Erik, everyone else on the board who shows up at the show.

Side note...I have never been to the National, but as it is in Baltimore next year, I probably will go up and check it out.

A Red Sox patch and an Expos picture. Just one of many like this on Ebay. They are about 1/3 each between the Cubs, Expos and Sox...of the ones I saw anyway. I guess we have to wait for Erik to get the card.
